The Protestant Revolt
The protestant faith emergenced from the revolt against the Catholic Church in the sixteenth century.
protestantism arose as protest against the catholic church, to be free of the total domination excercised by the catholic church,
Protestants are called protestants because they PROTESTED against the catholic church because Henry viii was catholic but he wanted a divorce but the catholics would not let him, so he started his own church( church of England) and they were called the protestants, also you can not be protestant and catholic.
The Protestant Church emerged out of the Reformation of the Catholic Chruch

Corruption within the Catholic Church. Martin Luther wanted reforms within the church, specifically pertaining to rich people being able to pay for having sins forgiven.
